Ferguson Missouri

The left is opposed to the people & instead prefers left-wing Dems to the citizenry in our democratic form of gov't. When a jury of peers doesn't see things the way the left sees things, the system has failed, the people are stupid, and the result is an injustice.

“There are good people on all sides of this debate… who are interested in working with this administration and local and state officials to start tackling much-needed criminal justice reform,” Obama said.

The Left and those who share the notion that justice must be tailored to the special political circumstances of each case, want to use the death of Michael Brown to establish a system of “justice” based on the politics of race, economics and ideology, not law.

Taking on issues ranging from Iran to Russia, from Ukraine to Syria, from global warming to Ebola, Obama pledged to utilize American might in service to the UN, speaking grandly of the beauty and power of the world’s least effective and most morally bankrupt international institution.

Douthat says within the commentariat, the most interesting division has opened within American conservatism, where a large group of conservative and libertarian writers have been much less inclined than perhaps they/we would have been thirty years ago to give the police the benefit of the doubt.

Mark Levin says we were told initially that Mike Brown was essentially executed by a cop even though he was surrendering, and it was quickly blamed on race despite the fact that most reasonable people knew better. And yet to this day there is ZERO evidence that this had anything to do with race.

After our columns on Ferguson the volume and strength of reader comments made us go back and review what we said and ask ourselves if we got it all wrong.

Calling Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) an "odd duck," conservative talk radio host Larry Elder accused Paul of needlessly fueling the notion that cops are out to get black people. On The Laura Ingraham Show, Elder also said that he was as libertarian as Paul but disagreed with his foreign policy views.

A.G. Eric Holder vowed to use Michael Brown's death and the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, to push for more police diversity and even combat unintentional "disparate treatment under the law" of minorities.

The police response to protests in Ferguson, Missouri, is just making things worse, and officers should put down their guns and allow protesters to speak their minds, says retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who headed relief efforts in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

A key Dem. who's trying to restrict the flow of military equipment to local police forces is open to the idea of outfitting police with body cameras, though he wants to ensure that related privacy issues are fully debated.

The Holder Justice Dep't pressured the Ferguson Police Dept. not to release the tape showing the latest left-wing cause celeb to be a violent criminal. Holder has also ordered another autopsy in addition to the state-performed autopsy.
